Two Rhode Island transplants have settled here in Northwest Florida on Escambia Bay. In Rhode Island, we spent most of our summers and fall days sailing the waters of Narragansett Bay, Block Island Sound and Buzzards Bay. We are so delighted to have found another Bay to enjoy.

WHAT DOES MY GARDEN GROW

"The day is coming when a single carrot freshly observed will set off a revolution."

~Paul Cezzane (1839-1906)

I don't know about a revolution, but my first crop of carrots were a cause of much excitement at the homestead. While I was taking a short hiatus from blogging, my garden was busily making carrots. My venue has always been a flower garden and my husband's the vegetable garden. But this year I am trying my hand a veggies, and carrots and swiss chard are my very first crops. I can't wait to start planting herbs and summer vegetables. Though I tried tomatoes last summer and the results were less than stellar. But look at my carrots!
